Cycnus - Mythology. Greek Son of Ares by Pelopia or by Pyrene. Cycnus was cruel and aggressive like his father, the god of war. Cycnus attacked and killed travelers in the region of Tempe, in Thessaly. He used their bones to build a temple for his father. One day he challenged Heracles. In the fearsome battle that followed, Heracles killed Cycnus and severely wounded Ares, who had tried to help Cycnus.
